A SoLoRoC tale of tools, loopholes, and paladins who should have chosen shields.
01At twenty-two minutes old, Thrïïr had already heard enough about what a mage ought to carry.02He followed the road from Sunstrider Isle toward the oldest teacher: inconvenience.03Silvermoon’s Royal Guard bore sword and shield. The paladins would later choose only half the lesson.04Beyond the Orb waited Lordaeron—and rules written by people who were already dead.05The Harbinger brought news from two continents. Thrïïr required only one useful loophole.06“The Dark Lady has said that knowledge will be our greatest weapon in this war.”07A Blacksmith Hammer was a tool, not a mace. The class restriction had neglected to mention tools.08At 0.8 damage per second, freedom proved more philosophical than practical. Thrïïr requested a Heavy Copper Longsword from the guild’s steel-former.09At the guards of Deathknell, the Rogue waited—hammer already in hand.10Before the sword arrived, Thrïïr made one brief, professional acquaintance with death.11One further gift of the steel-former: the Forsaken Shortsword. The world relented. You have gained the Swords skill.12The paladins kept the Hand. Thrïïr took the lesson.
If the class bars the weapon, consult the craftsman.
